Description

A terracotta lamp is seen from above against a grey backdrop. The round body has a raised rim around a shallow central filling hole, a loop handle rises at the top, and a nozzle with a round opening points down at the bottom. Small pits and dark specks mark the surface, and the rim shows some wear.
